Question

Whats a literary analysis?

Answer 1

In writing about literature or any specific text, you will strengthen your discussion if you offer specific passages from the text as evidence. Rather than simply dropping in quotations and expecting their significance and relevance to your argument to be self-evident, you need to provide sufficient analysis of the passage... this is what we call "Literary Analysis"... @selenaannerios

Answer 2

It's an argument about the work that expresses a writer's personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation of the work.
